    St. James

    I'm 38 but I'd say kids want attention, exposure and they want to win these days. If I play for my neighborhood school, I might not make it out of the region. I go join a private school all star team. I'm going to play a national schedule and probably put the beats on any local competition...

    BOYS State Semis: Spotswood 64 Northside 52 - FINAL

    Tremendous atmosphere and game. Spotswood played pack line defense. Everytime Hardy or Harvey crossed 3pt line with dribble, all defenders collapsed on them, forcing ball out their hands and the other Northside players couldn't score consistently. Excellent game plan. Sprague was limping through...

    Rustburg Job Open

    Crazy to hear Watts will be at Heritage. Behind the scenes, he had offer to go to Rice with Abell but Rice is a long way from VA and family, much further than Davidson was. Hence Watts is back in the area. Great pick up for Bradley, will be interesting to see what happens at Heritage. I know...

    Lafayette/Kettle Run

    Thoroughly impressed with KR's offensive scheme and playcalling. Shout out to Porterfield and staff for what they've built over there. Based on youth football in that area, I expect them to be a region/state contender for the next decade at minimum. After watching KR vs Armstrong, TJ and...

    Rocktown 48 Riverheads 45

    I'll offer a different perspective. Rocktown didn't play with the same intensity they did vs Staunton. I'd like to think they thought they'd roll Riverheads, as they aren't a basketball powerhouse, and the boys looked flat for much of the game. Thought they could just show up and win...

    Rocktown Rolls Over Staunton...Did Anyone See That Coming?

    Yes all other sports are full Valley Members this season. Football is the only sport that we weren't able to play full Valley district schedule this first year. It was 2nd year of two year cycles for football which made this seasons schedule so unique. Next football cycle we've got Page...

    Everyone playing for 2nd

    I'm not naive to what those processes look like. It's lengthy and time consuming process on small scale, need lots of folks thinking about all the what ifs. The VHSL was naive and wasn't prepared for a private school to pursue membership via litigation. LCA talked about it for years before they...

    VHSL folded, period. State Public High School organization allowed a private school to join, they folded. How do you not have something in your bylaws, foundation that allowed a private school to build enough of a case that you didn't see a way to keep them out of your organization. The very...

    Turner Ashby at LCA

    Per MaxPreps, Broadway was 6-4(5 seed) in '21. Beat TA in the 4/5 game before getting boots smoked 48-0 to eventual state runner up LCA in 2nd rd. I'm still somewhat new to Hburg but to my knowledge, this year's TA team is the first 10-0 Valley team since Harrisonburg in the late 2000s/early...

    Everyone playing for 2nd

    To be clear, I'm not here to file any complaint against LCA. Two reasons, until we've got to play them it's not relevant enough to my time to go that deep. Took 15 minutes to look at their hudl roster and see the transfers. Second, the VHSL already folded once vs LCA, what makes you think the...

    @cutnjump You've been asking for proof on LCA in too many posts. I've got time today for you big dog. You can simply look at their roster on hudl. LCA Football 24-25 HUDL Roster. Click on each athlete's profile and you can usually see what schools each kid has had hudl accounts with in past...

    Region 3C Boys Playoffs

    Without question. 3 losses to Albemarle(23-3), 1 to Charlottesville(22-4) and 1 to Martinsburg, WV(16-4). Outside of Handley and PH-Roanoke(weren't nearly as good as last year's team), Spotswood didn't play anyone that could challenge them. TBH, this loss could be good for them. The 4 West...
